Peer Support Meetings

Monthly Support Meetings

As time goes by and
“normal” life resumes for those around you, it can feel
incredibly isolating. Many parents feel that they wear a mask to the
outside world, whilst inside they are crumbling. It can feel
impossible to explain to others the emotions that continue to haunt
us and family and friends of course want us to be “okay” and so
we wear our “okay mask”.

Although our
experiences may be different, the outcome of us losing a very
precious child is the same. Only another loss parent can truly
understand the mixture of emotions that losing a baby brings and so
our monthly meetings are a chance for you to remove your mask and
talk freely about your baby and how you are feeling with others who
understand and most likely feel / have felt the same.

We would like our meetings to be as supportive and helpful as possible and welcome any feedback. There is always laughter as well as tears during a meeting, friendships are made and we very much hope by meeting others at different stages of their grief journey that this helps parents to be able to look to the future with hope and in the knowledge they are not alone.

If you would like to, but feel nervous about attending a meeting, please feel free to contact lisa.towardstomorrow@gmail.com
